"Cyclohectane’s Twist Ring-Coordinates and Its Fluxional Nature"

Fluxional Molecules with Five Equivalent

The technique of velocity modulation spectroscopy has recently been combined with cavity enhancement and frequency modulation methods into a technique called noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne velocity modulation spectroscopy (NICE-OHVMS). We have implemented NICE-OHVMS with a cw-optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable from 3.2 to 3.9 lm, and used it to record spectra of the R(...

Closing The Ring: A New Twist to Bacterial Chromosome Condensation

The mechanisms underlying chromosome organization in bacteria are still shrouded in mystery. Sullivan et al. (2009) and Gruber and Errington (2009) now report that the DNA-binding protein ParB ensures proper arrangement and partitioning of chromosomal DNA in Bacillus subtilis by recruiting the condensin SMC to the replication origin region.

Humiliation: its nature and consequences.

In this article, we present a new analysis of what is involved when individuals undergo significant public humiliation. We describe the structure of humiliation-that is, the factors that, taken collectively, render certain life events and circumstances humiliating; the most common destructive consequences of being subjected to them; and several personality factors that, when present, can serve ...
